The book is divided into three main parts:
| Chapter | Title | Key Takeaway | |---------|-------|---------------| | 1 | Signals and Spectra | Fourier transforms, energy vs. power signals, autocorrelation. | | 2 | Information Transmission in the Presence of Noise | Shannon’s channel capacity, continuous channels. | | 3 | Linear Modulation (AM, DSB, SSB) | Noise analysis of AM, threshold effect. | | 4 | Angle Modulation (FM, PM) | Bandwidth approximation (Carson’s rule), FM demodulator noise performance. | | 5 | Pulse Modulation | Sampling theorem, aliasing, PAM noise. | | 6 | Digital Modulation (ASK, FSK, PSK) | Probability of error, matched filter, optimum receiver. | | 7 | Noise in Communication Systems | Noise figure, cascaded systems, noise temperature. | The book is divided into three main parts:
"Digital pulse modulation," Elias realized. The intruder wasn't speaking; they were sending raw data. | | 3 | Linear Modulation (AM, DSB,
You might ask: “Why read a book published in 1970 (with later editions) when I can learn about QAM-256 from a website?” | | 6 | Digital Modulation (ASK, FSK,
